BSI Tournament Results

 BSI Premier Division 18-hole Medal

Well done to Eric Ncube, for his win in the BSI Premier Division 18-hole medal on Friday 18 July, with a 3-under par 69 on Royal Johannesburg – West Course for his second win of the year. Despite focusing heavily on his studies and career ambitions resulting in fewer tournament appearances Eric has recalibrated to find that perfect balance between education and playing golf. Back on the podium, he continues to inspire with his dedication and love for the game.

We’re thrilled to see him back in form and can’t wait to follow his journey toward golfing prominence. Congratulations, Eric here’s to more wins ahead!

 Continuing our spotlight series on the golf industry experts who lecturer for us on our PGA Diploma program, we introduce a gentleman deeply connected to BSI: David Roodt, who has been lecturing the ‘Managing a Golf Business’ module.  David previously served as a Coach at BSI from 2008 to 2014, after which he has forging an impressive career in golf club management including as General Manager at Glendower GC.

In fact he will soon be taking up an exciting new role as Club Director at one of South Africa’s most iconic and exclusive golfing destinations, Leopard Creek.  We’re sorry to see him go, but wish David and his family every success in this new adventure.  Thank you for your industry insight and mentorship of students over the years.
